BBQ Pork Pizza with Roasted Corn, Jalapeno, and Smoked Mozzarella

BBQ Pork Pizza with Roasted Corn, Jalapeno, and Smoked Mozzarella is super easy using pre-cooked bbq pork. This BBQ Pork Pizza pops with flavor and is a great addition to a weekly meal plan.

Is pizza night a weekly event in your house? It sure is in ours. Ordering pizza is one of the easiest and quickest ways to feed hungry mouths that tend to get hangry pretty fast! But guess what? You can make pizza at home even quicker than you can order, especially if you take advantage of Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork!

With a few homemade ingredients and the help of some ready-made foods, you can have a tasty, original pizza on the table in about 30 minutes. I like to purchase ready-made dough at my local grocery store and then pile on the toppings.

Sometimes pizza can be as simple as a traditional Margherita style pizza, with fresh tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella, but other days I like to change things a bit, like with this BBQ Pork Pizza.

You could use the meat for tacos, or even sandwiches, but my first thought was PIZZA.

So what goes well with barbecued rib meat? My Mexican Spiced Creamed Corn definitely. Baked beans yes, but not on pizza. Slaw for sure, but again, not on pizza.

Let’s get outside the box—how about spice it up a little with some diced jalapeno? Maybe add some smoked mozzarella to go along with the smoky rib flavor. And top it with a drizzle of barbecue sauce and a sprinkling of fresh cilantro.

Sound good? It was!

How to Make BBQ Pork Pizza

Are you a thin-crust or thick-crust pizza person? I like a thin crust so the pizza isn’t so heavy and the toppings can shine.

Since I don’t have a pizza stone and peel, I spread the ready-made dough as thin as I can, brush a little olive oil on a baking sheet and a little on top of the dough, and then bake it in the oven on 500 for 2-3 minutes, just until the edges are slightly browning.

While the oven is heating, chop one jalapeno and slice the kernels off two ears of corn. Slice about a quarter or half of a red onion and grab a handful of cilantro and rough chop, along with a couple of green onions. You’ll have time to grate the cheese while the dough is pre-baking.

Remove the pizza dough from the oven after a couple of minutes, and brush with barbecue sauce, then sprinkle cheese on top of the sauce.

Add chopped pork, corn kernels, jalapeno, and red onion, and bake for 7-9 minutes then sprinkle half a cup of cheese on top. Bake another couple of minutes or until crust is nicely browned underneath and cheese is melted and slightly browning.

Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the chopped cilantro and green onions on top.
